Well that was a marvellous day - with @sarahlambert7.bsky.social leading a cyanotype workshop for a bunch of wonderful creative people - celebrating the beauty of nature on #LangdykeCountrysideTrust nature reserves

A dream-like view of reeds, teasels, water, hedge and a light cloudy sky. The images is made of layers of photographs taken on a single walk on the site of an ancient flood-meadow. There's a church in the far distance. The clouds are fluffy and light. There's a swirl of pale cream / white marks - evocative of a flock of small birds moving through the landscape. The feeling is of soft sunshine on an autumn morning.

#MarkCocker uses the phrase Nature-action. I like it - it expresses intention, urgency & action.

So, Thank You to everyone involved in nature-action of every kind. Every positive action counts & is desperately needed.
